EU rights, safety for your family and a clear path to legal status
Legal status in the EU
Free movement within the Schengen area without a visa and clear rules for crossing borders.
A safe environment
Slovenia is one of the calmest countries in Europe: a low crime rate and a comfortable urban environment for families.
Climate and nature
From a mild coastline to Alpine peaks — several climate zones in a compact country.
A convenient location
An hour or two from Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia — a handy base for living and travelling around Europe.
Predictable rules
A stable economy, predictable taxation and a high standard of living for the region.
Quick adaptation
Slovenian is a Slavic language: Russian speakers find it easier to get used to and to start understanding everyday speech.

I reached out to Mariia to start a business in Slovenia and get a residence permit. The consultations were crystal clear: I got a solid plan, the documents were prepared without a single correction, and every step was under control. What I appreciated most is that Mariia doesn't just guide you through the process — she genuinely understands the economics, the registration steps and the requirements for companies. Thanks to her work I launched my business without any problems and got all the permits I needed. Thank you so much!
I want to thank Mariia for her high level of professionalism and for the work she did with us. We got our residence permit through employment. Mariia is a very correct, respectful person and patiently answered every question, guiding us through each stage. During our conversation I learned that Mariia is a lawyer with huge experience, and I was glad to have someone like that handling my case and my family's. We'll definitely come back to her.
We were relocating as a whole family, and it mattered to us that the process stayed clear and calm. Mariia helped us get residence permits for us and our children, and advised us on schools, insurance and registration. Everything was arranged well in advance, with no stress or surprises. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you for your support and patience!
Before reaching out to Mariia I'd had a bad experience filing documents through another company, so I approached this very cautiously. Mariia rebuilt my trust: she explained what needed fixing, prepared a correct document package and organised the filing process. Everything went quickly, and — most importantly — calmly. I now have my residence permit, and I genuinely recommend her.
We want to thank Mariia enormously for guiding us through our difficult path to a Slovenian residence permit. Our journey took several years: the initial permits, multi-stage renewals, a change of grounds. Mariia didn't just do her job — she genuinely cared about us, always explaining every option and its consequences in detail. We made it through, and that's very much thanks to Mariia! We highly recommend this responsive person and top-level professional.
Honestly, I didn't expect the whole process to go this smoothly. Mariia explained everything in plain terms, was always reachable, and genuinely helped at every step — from paperwork down to the smallest everyday questions. Now that it's all done, I can say one thing: if you need someone you can trust who knows migration inside out, it's without a doubt Mariia. Thank you so much!
We want to thank Mariia for her incredible support with our move. We were worried it would be complicated, but we ended up in reliable hands. Mariia explained every step in plain language, stayed reachable even for small things, and helped with everything — from preparing documents to everyday questions after we arrived. Thanks to her we felt confident within the first week. Our deepest gratitude!
Thank you so much to Mariia for the excellent work! Getting my residence permit was fast and stress-free. Mariia guided and advised me at every stage — from gathering documents to picking up the residence card at the embassy — so everything was simple and clear. I highly recommend working with this specialist. Thank you!!
Mariia is an excellent specialist. She helped me get my residence permit — everything was handled with great quality, speed and friendliness. Highly recommend.
I reached out to Mariia for support with my move to Slovenia. Everything went quickly and smoothly: documents, appointments, filing — not a single unnecessary step. What I valued most is that Mariia warned me about every nuance in advance, which kept the whole process completely calm. Thank you for your professionalism.
We're grateful to Mariia for our family's move to such a wonderful country — we're already settling in and are very happy. Help was there at every stage and with any question, from the apartment and the car to tax consultations. Thank you.
Everything was great! Mariia explained everything, walked me through every step, and I got my residence permit successfully. Highly recommend to everyone!
Mariia Golubnik — migration lawyer in Slovenia
“It all started with my own move to Slovenia with my family more than 7 years ago. Going through the process myself, I came to understand migration procedures, document requirements and how Slovenian authorities actually work in practice.
A legal education and experience working with legislation let me analyse every situation in detail and build a lawful relocation strategy. I have established working relationships with government bodies, educational institutions, banks and court-certified translators in Slovenia.”
The simplest and most affordable route into the EU
Unlike the residence programmes of Spain or France, which require tens of thousands of euros in the bank and high bureaucratic barriers, Slovenia offers flexible, clear conditions — especially for business, study and family reunification.
Obtaining a residence permit and relocating costs noticeably less than in Germany, Italy or Austria: company registration, renting a home and taxes are all more affordable.
After 5 years of residence on a permit you can obtain permanent residence, and then Slovenian citizenship: the path is clear and one of the most transparent in the EU.
